$PECIFIGATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 607,560, dated July 19,1898. Application filed March 7, 1898 Serial N0. 672,826. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: 7,

Be it known that I, WILHELM ZOLPER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Elkton, in the county of Cecil, State of Maryland, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Games, which improvement isfully set forth in the following specification and accompanyingdrawings.

My invention consists of a game embodying a field provided with numberedopenings and a spinner whose point is adapted to enter saidopenings,thus scoring for the player,said field being provided withpockets in which balls may be seated and from which they may be removedby contact therewith of the spinner, whereby if the balls lodge over oron the openings of the field there is an additional count for theplayer.

Figure 1 represents a plan view of a game an inclosure E, outside ofwhich are the pockets or bases F, which areadjaoent to the rim,

G of the box, which contains the game.

H designates a spinner or form of tee-totum Whose 'point' is adapted toenter the openings 13, and J designates balls adapted to primarilyoccupy the-pockets F.

The operation is as follows: Rotation is imparted to the spinner at thecenter of the field and it traverses the latter, so that when itexhausts itself it may fall on a solid portion of the field between theopenings B, which is of no advantage to the player, or its point maydrop into and rest in one of said openings, the number of which iscounted for the player.

' The spinner in its whirling may strike either of the balls J andremove the same from its pocket or base, and if a ball stops on one ofthe openings 13 the number thereof is added to the score of the player.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is r V V A game consisting of a field with aseries of numbered openings and pockets therein, a spinner whose pointis adapted to enter either of said openings and balls adapted to occupysaid pockets and be moved toward said open- 111S.
